The 2018 RITES Program

In keeping with its mission to support the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons, the GPSF organizes the highly successful Resident In Training Educational Stipend (RITES) program, now in its fourth year. GPSF sponsors a 6 week summer educational training program to US medical institutions for meritorious medical trainees selected by the faculty of the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Education Committee of the GPSF. In 2018, the RITES program sponsored two participants: Dr. Angelina Ampong and Dr. Ijeoma Anyitey-Kokor.

Donations towards this worthy cause are welcome.


The RITES program by the Ghana Physicians and Surgeons Foundation is a well organized and very useful program with a lot of potential. It will go a long way to encourage and equip Members and Fellows of the Ghana College of Physicians & Surgeons to strive for higher standards in clinical care and research. I am very happy, honored and grateful to have been chosen for the program.

– Angelina Ampong, MD 2018 RITES Program Participant
